Tom Cruise was spotted filming a biplane stunt for the upcoming Mission Impossible 8 around Bicester Airfield in Bicester, Oxfordshire, UK, on September 18, 2024.
Below, you can see Cruise boarding a Boeing Stearman biplane for a stunt in Mission: Impossible 8.
The biplane stunt sequence is very risky — with the ever-present possibility of a fatal accident due to the height involved. Additionally, it must be considered that an eighty-year-old plane is not as reliable as a more modern aircraft. The fact that Cruise has reshot these scenes may imply that the initial recordings did not satisfy the production team — necessitating a return to fix them.
Recently, images leaked showing a plane stunt featuring Cruise, who was caught on camera hanging from a plane during filming.
The plot details for ‘Mission Impossible 8’ have not yet been revealed, but it is confirmed to be a follow-up to ‘Dead Reckoning Part One’. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie and co-written by McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen, the film stars Cruise as Ethan Hunt, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Henry Czerny as Eugene Kittridge, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, Hayley Atwell as Grace, Esai Morales as Gabriel, Pom Klementieff as Paris, Shea Whigham as Jasper Briggs, Greg Tarzan Davis as Degas, Mariela Garriga as Marie, Rolf Saxon as William Donloe, Holt McCallany as Bernstein, Nick Offerman as Sydney, and Frederick Schmidt as Zola Mitsopolis. Additionally, Mark Gatiss and Charles Parnell return as the heads of the NSA and NRO from Dead Reckoning Part One, respectively, while Janet McTeer, Hannah Waddingham, Lucy Tulugarjuk, Katy O’Brian, Tramell Tillman, and Stephen Oyoung have been cast in undisclosed roles.
Dead Reckoning Part One concluded its domestic run with $172 million, marking one of the year’s biggest flops. Internationally, it grossed $393 million, bringing the worldwide total to $566 million against a $220 million budget.
Mission: Impossible 8 will hit theaters on May 23, 2025, by Paramount Pictures, Skydance Media, and TC Productions.
